    At 50-70mph I get vibrations through the steering wheel as it bubbles badly, from research on the forum it seems like a bad control arm? Any ideas?

    Was it you with the transmission problem as well? Just had a look and it apparently is. Someone else posted about transmission problems causing vibration. I'd get the wheels balanced somewhere else first though.

    Move the wheels front to back on the same side and see if the problem goes away or changes. If so, then there must be a problem with the tyre/wheel assembly.

    Hi, yes it is me with the transmission problems as well.. What's the best tyre place to get them balanced?

    In Sheffield? I have no idea! Other side of the Pennines was where I used to get mine done. I always got best results using the gizmo that balances the wheel on the car.
